How do you respond to unfairness? How do you play fair if the rules are rigged? The gift of dwarf planet Eris is the coping skills to creatively navigate and outwit foes on unlevel playing fields and find a cause to champion. This guide covers Eris' journey in the 12 houses and aspects with other planets; conjunction, semi-sextile, sextile, square, trine, quincunx and opposition. The author gives a fun memory-tool, the "A-B-C's of Eris" to help you know the ways Eris impacts the chart. Examples of 300+ famous people with Eris aspects brings the interpretations alive. Amy Shapiro was the first to call Eris a 'Provocateur' (in Forces At Work: Astrology And Career), based on Eris' legendary golden apple exposing over-sized egos. Her job is to awaken our higher impulses. This book extends a long-awaited invitation to Eris -- to join the astrological party as the guest of honor! Reviewers' Comments: “Amy Shapiro has ‘done it again’ in providing us with a far more useful interpretation of planet Eris than the ‘goddess of discord’ label originally received from her discoverers. As Provocateur, Eris has a huge variety of ways her placements by sign, house and aspect can be interpreted. Invite Eris to your party and open yourself to be provoked to new and interesting perspectives!” ~ Maria Kay Simms, author: Moon Tides, Soul Passages; Dial Detective; Your Magical Child and Astrology and the Power of Eight “As Oscar Wilde once said,‘The only thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about.’ For years astrologers have not been talking about Eris. Inviting Eris To The Party is a fine book that adds a lot to the discussion of Eris and should get tongues wagging. It may get astrologers thinking about Eris the way they have been thinking about Chiron all these years.” ~ Tom Canfield, author: Yankee Doodle Discord: A Walk with Planet Eris Through USA History, and Eris In Signs, Houses, Aspects

I am still reading this book and while it is informative I would like greater depth as to Eris' qualities and influence. There is too much about famous people which some might find interesting. I am looking for greater insight into this planet. I will keep reading, however, I will also check out books about Eris by other authors as well.

Amy Shapiro really helps to bring Eris-consciousness to the earth, as a caring midwife. She inspired me deeply.After inviting Eris to the Party I experienced a far deeper initiation than those of the goddesses between Mars and Jupiter, though Demetra George’s book on Ceres, Juno, Vesta and Minerva is dear to me as well. These four speak to our animus/anima level, I think. Eris orbits far deeper somewhere between Neptune and Pluto and further out.I now feel Eris to be a symbol of our transition into (individuated and yet at the same time) universal beings integrated and in awe, bringing to consciousness the unconscious “participation mystique” we were in as newborns (before words and our ego’s took over and the rebellion started). Thank you Amy and Eris for opening up this depth in me.Marijke de Ruwejurist and culture&religionpsychologist/consultant (also archetypal astrology), Amsterdam, The Netherlands
